Chapter 26: Secret Base
Nan Zhiqiao explained, "At that time, my father customized three tracking chips, one for each of our family of three, my father's chip was in his watch, my mother's chip was in this jasmine-shaped hairpin, and my chip was on a blue brooch, and later because I was angry with my father, I left the blue brooch in the old house and never wore it on my body, and when these three chips were close to each other, they could start each other's positioning system, so they could find people through the chip." ”
"This is a positioning chip?"
"Well, the little red dot on the map is where my father is now. ”
Nan Zhiqiao got out of the car, and Ye Zhenzhen and secretary Xiao Li followed closely behind.
The red dot on the mobile phone screen kept moving back and forth, and Ye Zhenzhen leaned next to Nan Zhiqiao, "The red dot moves, which means that Uncle Nan is fine, look at the location of the red dot, directly below us, but where is the entrance to the underground laboratory?"
Ye Zhenzhen looked around, in the huge compound of the stem cell research center, there were many small red buildings scattered around, each of which looked similar, not a familiar person, and it was difficult to find the entrance to the underground laboratory.
Nan Zhiqiao searched in his mind for the impression that he had seen the design drawings back then, the entrance was in the northeast, and there were four or five small red buildings in the northeast of the compound.
Secretary Xiao Li suddenly interjected, "Every time Nan Dong comes, he goes to the Little Red House in Building E. ”
"Okay, let's go to Building E now. ”
Building E is the place where Kexin works, and it is also the place where David Kefel, Dr. David helped Kexin out, but unexpectedly, it is also the entrance to the underground laboratory.
Swiped their fingerprints to enter the elevator, with more than 100 buttons in four columns, Ye Zhenzhen and secretary Xiao Li were a little stupid, there were so many floors in the underground laboratory.
Select the floor, swipe your fingerprint again, and the elevator moves down.
"Senior Nan, why did you choose B36?"
"As I recall, the blueprint indicated that there were 36 floors below ground with a central control system for the entire laboratory. ”
After the elevator descended two floors, the surrounding elevator walls suddenly changed, the gray steel plates were removed, and the floor under his feet became a translucent round glass, and the surrounding area suddenly lit up.
The white light reflected in, slightly dazzling, and when they adapted to the surrounding light, everyone was immediately amazed by the surrounding scene.
Outside the transparent glass elevator, there is a circle of pure white building experimental floors, looking down, everyone steps on the transparent glass, as if floating in the air, under the feet is the endless floors of rows of rows, the ground at the bottom, you can vaguely see a large circular pool, the water in the pool is glowing with blue-green light.
"The underground laboratory is so big, there are more than 100 floors, which floor will the South Board of Directors have?" The secretary Xiao Li stood on the transparent elevator, his legs trembling a little.
"There's one hundred and six floors here, and the thirty-sixth floor has the control system for the entire underground lab, go there and take a look. ”
The elevator stopped on the 36th floor, just connected to the white escalator that jutted out from the floor.
The trio stepped out of the elevator and onto the white escalator, entering the center control area on the 36th floor unimpeded.
Rows of display screens in the control area are connected together, each display screen monitors different floors, and the eyes sweep from the display screen one by one, and there are many simulated robots shuttling back and forth on each floor.
"No wonder I didn't see the staff, it turned out that they were all simulated robots working. ”
Ye Zhenzhen stopped in front of a slightly larger display screen, staring at the robot on the screen, while Nan Zhiqiao mobilized the buttons under the screen, the screen content switched, and the image in the corridor became the image in the room.
In the room, a little girl of five or six years old is playing with a rag doll with her back to a surveillance camera.
"How can there be a little girl here?"
Just as Ye Zhenzhen was questioning, the little girl turned her head, took a step in the direction of the camera, and picked up another rag doll on the ground.
The computer screen clearly showed the little girl's face, a face that did not match the little girl's body shape and age.
A wrinkled, dry face like tree bark appeared on the surveillance screen.
The three of them couldn't help but gasp, a little girl of five or six years old, with sparse hair, a rickety figure, a wrinkled face, lost teeth, and a shriveled mouth......
"What kind of monster is this?" the secretary Xiao Li let out a terrible exclamation.
"Progeria!"
When she was in medical school, she had watched some educational films about various genetic diseases, including an introduction to Progeria, where patients with Progeria look like old people, and their organs deteriorate quickly, and children with aging disease can only live to be 7 to 20 years old, and patients will eventually die of aging diseases.
"Mr. Xiao Nan, come and see here, there are still many such children. ”
Secretary Xiao Li walked to the computer screen next to him, and the surveillance images of more rooms were displayed on the screen in order.
On the screen, a small room is densely arranged, and there is a child in each room, both old and young, with one or two years old babies, most of them are three or four years old, and the oldest is only six years old, and they are all symptoms of Progeria, the older the age, the more obvious the symptoms, in the room, in addition to the children with Progeria, there is also a simulation robot taking care of it.
"How can there be so many Progeria children here? The incidence of Progeria in the population is 1 in 8 million, and even if all the Progeria patients in the human race are concentrated here, there are not so many. ”
Ye Zhenzhen stared at the children with Progeria in the small rooms on the screen, her heart ached, but she was more frightened, and when she looked up at the rooms on the computer screen, there were thousands of them, so the number of children with Progeria here was also hovering between four digits.
Secretary Xiao Li stared at the screen, looked at the appearance of each child, and asked, "Mr. Xiao Nan, these children seem to look the same." ”
Everyone looked at the face of the little girl on each screen, although because of Progeria, the face was like a withered face, but they could still vaguely recognize the facial features, and they did look very similar, as if they were carved out of a mold.
Walking past the rows of monitors, Nan Zhiqiao remained silent, but his face became more and more ugly.
Through the rows of small monitors on the outside, a huge display screen stands in the center of the central hall on the thirty-sixth floor of the underground laboratory.
On the large display screen, it shows a huge circular laboratory, in the center of the laboratory is a circular pool, the water in the pool glows with a faint blue light, and the pool is surrounded by rows of cylindrical glass pillars, which are also filled with a liquid glowing with blue light, and the liquid is soaked in a cloud of white flowers.
Because the monitoring distance is too far, it is impossible to see what is in the glass pillar.
Nan Zhiqiao was just about to manually operate the control interface and enlarge the image, when Ye Zhenzhen suddenly pointed to the corner of the big screen and shouted: "Senior Nan, look, Uncle Nan is there!"
